[garbene]

I was profoundly burned out in early 2021. I almost rage quit about 50 times, life lost all joy, dark thoughts, the works.

Wife told me to quit which took a huge psychological weight off my chest. Didn’t end up quitting, but told my boss I was burned out and took two weeks off to rest. Enrolled in therapy and started taking an SSRI for the first time in my life. Project From Hell wrapped up and the work stress dissipated.

A year later and I am much better but still recovering.

I hope you can get your partner’s support to quit, even if you don’t go through with it.
